Newsom’s backtracking suggests Democrats fear pro-Israel lobbyists, not voters
Sacramento Bee ^ | March 27, 2026 | By Robin Epley

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest wiffle-waffle messaging on Israel is the Democratic Party’s problem in a nutshell: Even while support for the Palestinian people is now at a two-decade high, party leadership simply cannot get in tune with voters.

Among Democratic voters alone, the divide is even more stark: Gallup found that 65% of Democrats say their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, while just 17% say they sympathize more with the Israelis.


If you are Jewish and a Democrat you are a fool

Crass and open anti-Semitism is common and tolerated within the Democratic Party.

On 7 October 2023, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian nationalist Islamist political organization Hamas, initiated a sudden attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip. As part of the attack, 378 people (344 civilians and 34 security personnel) were killed and many more wounded at the Supernova Sukkot Gathering, an open-air music festival during the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret near kibbutz Re’im. Hamas also took 44 people hostage, and men and women were reportedly subject to sexual and gender-based violence. Some 20 of the attackers were also killed by Israeli security forces in the area of the festival.[4][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

This attack had the largest number of casualties out of a number of massacres targeting Israeli civilians in villages adjacent to the Gaza Strip, that occurred as part of the 7 October attack, alongside those at the kibbutzim and moshavim of Netiv HaAsara, Be’eri, Kfar Aza, Nir Oz and Holit.[14]

I thought the Sac Bee couldn’t get any more vile. I was wrong.

One day this misguided child author will be studied in graduate schools as an example of how a culture can mismanage young minds with great skill.

Bring a Dem under the DNC’s control of the party machine is not only foolish. It’s suicidal

“lobbyist, not voters”

MSM News spin. The voters acquire their opinions in their church, school and especially their family, rarely from lobbyists. Lobbyists only remind politicians what the voters think.

Tom Steyer has spent a fortune on lobbyists and politicians, probably more than George Soros or the other famous lobbyist financiers. Tom Steyer has not moved the needle at all for all the money he has spent.
